Ветхий Завет - Ancient Greek

Septuagint (ALXX)

The first translation of the Bible, or rather the Old Testament, which was in use during the time of Jesus.
This is the first and fastest translation. The purpose of use for worship was not, because the translation was fairly free. Added lines, chapters, books.
The fact is that after the transfer to Babylon, most of the Jews did not return to Israel. Israel was in decline and only patriots returned.
So a large diaspora was formed and not all owned Hebrew, or did not own it at the proper level. Because it was decided to make the translation of the Bible into an international language at that time - Greek.
